HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 16 - Fire Hose and NozzlesMEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 16, 2021
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE PURCHASE OF FIRE HOSE AND NOZZLES
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval of the purchase of fire hose and nozzles
from Casco Industries for the Fire Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the General Fund for an amount not to exceed
$17,831.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is to replace hoses in varying sizes that are either out of
date (more than ten years old) or have failed the annual service test and
inspection. The nozzles that are to be replaced are no longer supported
by the manufacturer and the new ones will bring consistency within the
department.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal
agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative
(BuyBoard) as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Section 271
and Texas Government Code, Chapter 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to Casco
Industries. The Fire Department and Purchasing staff reviewed the
contract for departmental specification compliance and pricing and
determined that the contract would provide the best service and pricing for
meeting the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval.
